I have been a collector since I was a child.... mostly aimless & pointless collections. Nothing very valuable, not too trendy, and rarely in mint condition. Just a plethora of "stuff" that I've had fun adding to through the years. If I have at least 3, I consider it a collection. I'll be posting a different collection daily, Monday through Friday, and spotlighting some other marvelous collections I've discovered on the weekends. I hope you stop by often!

COLLECTION #110: Christmas Hankies

Yay! It's December, so I can crack out all of my Christmas collections! I'm not sure if I'll put one up every day in December, but I'll just see how it goes! I have a lot!

Today's collection is vintage Christmas hankies. These are all so cute, and pretty typical motif-wise with poinsettia and holly being the predominant theme. I do love that two of them are embroidered, and I adore the cute candy cane design on one of them.

Several of these have scalloped borders, and as you can see, they are all white backgrounds with red and green decoration. I think that's pretty typical of the 1950s, when I imagine all of these were made.... Nowadays you would see many more Christmas color combinations. But then again, who ever sees handkerchiefs any more? So, I'm happy to have these adorable Christmas hankies in my collection!

About This Blog

A few months ago, I discovered a wonderfulblogcreated by illustrator and designer Lisa Congden. She posted a different collection every day for the year 2010. Being a collector myself, the first thing I thought was that, although I love her collections and her lovely artwork & presentation, I think I have cooler stuff than she does! Thus, the idea for a copycat collector blog began. I can't say my idea is original, but I think my collections are fun, quirky, and worth spotlighting.Also note that I'm willing to part with some of my stuff. I will happily consider any offers for all or part of my daily collections. If the post is marked "FS", then consider at least some of it available.
